Hi,u got right msdn link. If u implement core logic u can get file of any length with proper socket connection. U have to convert respective file into byte array and send that file over socket. Now buffer size is tricky thing u have to use Redim or use Arraylist class of .net (easily available articles on net), so u can reuse them.
One more thing u have to use loop which will read all sent file bytes till end of buffer.Store these bytes in one target array of bytes (target),then convert this bytes in file.
Right now i m busy with my stuff.If i get time i will try to post solution with code or link from my old stuff.
This all things u can find easily on internet in parts.
-- Good luck
